No perfect day in the English countryside is complete without a visit to the pub. And when you’re in Harrington, you’re in luck – because the perfect country pub can be found right on the high street.

Just a 200m walk from the Warner Edwards distillery, The Tollemache Arms at Harrington is a lovingly restored pub that has everything a punter could wish for and more. Amazing food, delicious ales and atmosphere galore can be found at this fabulous country pub – and, of course, loads of delicious Warner Edwards gin!

Just a short walk from the distillery, The Tollemache Arms considers Warner Edwards its house gin. Here you can get a fabulous G&T featuring some of Warner Edwards' finest creations. From their classic Harrington Gin or their famous Victoria Rhubarb Gin right through to the Harrington Elderflower Gin in your June Gin of the Month Box – as well as bottles from the limited edition Botanical Garden range – this is the spot to sip the fantastic spirits created by Curiosity and Satisfaction.

Need a break from the hard stuff? Like any country pub worth the title, The Tollemache Arms boasts a strong selection of beers and ales, including a revolving tap for guest beers, and a respectable wine list, along with non-alcoholic options and fine Italian coffee.

Depending on the time of year, there are plenty of nooks and crannies where you can curl up with your tipple of choice. The pub’s interior has been lovingly restored, and now features a log burning fireplace that will warm you through even the coldest winter evenings. But in the glorious summer sunshine, why not take it outside?

Not only does sitting outside give you ample opportunity to admire this historic building – including the thatched roof and red brick chimneys – but you’ll also get an amazing view of the English countryside at its finest. Tables are available both in front of the pub and in the back, where a massive green lawn stretches over a gentle hill, providing views of the verdant fields just beyond the hedge.

As the sun starts to sink and the hunger pains set in, fear not – you’re in the right place! From classic British fare to delicious Malaysian chicken wings, the chefs at The Tollemache Arms take inspiration from cuisines across the world, and there’s just one rule here: use the very best ingredients, and treat them with respect.

This philosophy has led to a varied menu that has something for everyone. At The Tollemache Arms (or The Tolly, for short) they believe that there’s no better place to be than at a dinner table piled high with food, surrounded by family and friends. So whether you’re looking for a family-friendly feast, a romantic meal (culminating, perhaps, in one of the pub’s scrumptious puddings) or a quiet gin and tonic in a classic pub garden, The Tollemache Arms at Harrington is the place to be.
